‘Captain America 4’ Lands a Director

The brand new Captain America is on the point of take flight in his personal film.

On the conclusion of final 12 months’s Disney+ collection The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson formally inherited Steve Rogers’ outdated defend and have become the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Captain America. Since then, Marvel has remained silent on what’s subsequent for the character, however rumors have continued that the corporate is already quietly growing a fourth Captain America film, this one centered round Sam as an alternative of Steve.

Whereas Marvel nonetheless hasn’t formally confirmed that information, The Hollywood Reporter now says the venture has a director: Julius Onah. His earlier work consists of 2018’s The Cloverfield Paradox — which you’ll keep in mind because the shock Cloverfield sequel that was dropped on Netflix instantly after it was first introduced throughout the Tremendous Bowl — and 2019’s indie thriller Luce.

THR has no particulars on the plot of the film, and so they don’t know whether or not Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers (who’s technically outdated and retired however nonetheless alive within the MCU) will seem within the sequel. The film is being written by Malcolm Spellman and Dalan Musson, the creator and one of many writers of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier collection. There‘s additionally the query of whether or not the Winter Soldier, performed by Sebastian Stan, will seem within the film as properly. (My wager can be in all probability not, besides maybe in some form of temporary cameo.)

Captain America 4 doesn’t have an official launch date but. Technically, the venture hasn’t even been formally introduced by Marvel. However given this growth, that would occur quickly.
